Plenary Twittering

(Paraphrased) Quote of the day (well, of last Tuesday anyway): "I had prepared individual amendments for the bill, but I am afraid that the distinguished sponsor will accept these amendments and I will look unreasonable if I vote against the bill afterwards. So I won't propose any amendments and just vote no."

I've been wracking my brains about this and honestly, I can't think of a single reason why this needed to be said. Maybe someone needs to introduce Twittering to the Senators, so that they can have other venues for documenting their though processes...
